{-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses, TypeSynonymInstances #-} {-# LANGUAGE PatternGuards #-} ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- | -- Module : XMonad.Layout.Stoppable -- Copyright : (c) Anton Vorontsov 2014 -- License : BSD-style (as xmonad) -- -- Maintainer : Anton Vorontsov -- Stability : unstable -- Portability : unportable -- -- This module implements a special kind of layout modifier, which when -- applied to a layout, causes xmonad to stop all non-visible processes. -- In a way, this is a sledge-hammer for applications that drain power. -- For example, given a web browser on a stoppable workspace, once the -- workspace is hidden the web browser will be stopped. -- -- Note that the stopped application won't be able to communicate with X11 -- clipboard. For this, the module actually stops applications after a -- certain delay, giving a chance for a user to complete copy-paste -- sequence. By default, the delay equals to 15 seconds, it is -- configurable via 'Stoppable' constructor. -- -- The stoppable modifier prepends a mark (by default equals to -- \"Stoppable\") to the layout description (alternatively, you can choose -- your own mark and use it with 'Stoppable' constructor). The stoppable -- layout (identified by a mark) spans to multiple workspaces, letting you -- to create groups of stoppable workspaces that only stop processes when -- none of the workspaces are visible, and conversely, unfreezing all -- processes even if one of the stoppable workspaces are visible. -- -- To stop the process we use signals, which works for most cases. For -- processes that tinker with signal handling (debuggers), another -- (Linux-centric) approach may be used.
